Zach Edey Health, Injury Updates & History

Edey will undergo another procedure on his left ankle, the team announced.

The Grizzlies continue to be thin at center with the announcement of Zach Edey being out an additional six weeks from the stress reaction in his left ankle. After Edey initially sustained the injury Dec. 11, the Grizzlies relayed that the second-year center would be shut down for at least four weeks before being re-evaluated. Despite having spent the past month rehabbing the injury, Edey seemingly hasn't taken any major steps forward in his recovery and will now need another six weeks to let his ankle heal up.

Edey underwent surgery to address laxity in his left ankle June 7 but has since been cleared for basketball activities and should be ready for Opening Night.
